With respect to thinking while playing go: does anyone reading this play
blindfold go? I have played blindfold chess (and won!) and know some people
who can replay a go game from memory, but have not heard of blindfold go
playing per se. While playing chess, I visualized the board but don't feel
that this is the way to "really" do it. A guy I played who could play 2
blindfold chess games said he remembered the game not as a picture but as a
set of operations, which one would imagine to be much more efficient. Does
go require too much bandwidth to play a decent game of go?
